So this year we can enter 2 quilts!!
So I've decided to enter my Madrona Road challenge quilt. The MQG issued a challenge along with fabric from the line. Our guild gave us a selection of fat eighths. I challenged myself to only use those fabrics plus solids from my stash.
"Starburst"
36 x 36
Entered in the wall quilts (for lack of a better category)
I actually drew out the design first, calculating the fabric needed based on what I could get out of the fat eighths. I added a yellow and Westminster Dogwood gray.
I machine quilted it using a wonderful yellow Aurifil 40wt. I love the effect on the center!
I used the scraps for the back and the binding.
I dont have the best pictures. It was rainy and I was on a deadline. We were turning them into our guild for donation to Senior Services. We make lap quilts @ 36" square for wheel chair bound seniors.
So come out and vote for my quilt and check out all the others in the Blogger's Quilt Festival!
keep dreaming...Colleen
I refashioned "Starburst" and entered it in the Accuquilt barnquilt contest. It was one of FOUR entries I had in the top 100! |
